  • Page 6: System Description

    These are available in either 62.5 mm (2.46 in) or 125 mm (4.92 in) lengths. The combined MRS rack and leg assembly is mounted on the CMM table via two MRS feet (see item 7 in illustration below). These extend the overall height by 35 mm allowing a maximum clearance of 535 mm between the CMM table and the underside of the MRS rail.
  • Page 7 MRS heavy duty legs Where heavier rack systems or longer styli configurations are used, such as multiple SCP80s or RCP TC-2s, the MRS system can be upgraded by using optional heavy-duty legs that are 60 mm (2.36 in) in diameter and 350 mm (13.78 in) long. These legs are mounted to the CMM table beneath the standard legs and feet.
  • Page 8 MRS adjustable footplates By using optional MRS adjustable footplates, the MRS rail can be set back on the CMM table to maximise the available working volume of the machine. The MRS adjustable footplates can be used with both standard and heavy-duty leg arrangements. Adjustment is set by the footplate bolt hole spacing in increments of 25 mm, 50 mm, 75 mm, 100 mm (0.98 in, 1.97 in, 2.95 in, 3.94 in).
  • Page 9 Step back adaptor Step back adaptors can be used to set the MRS rail back on the CMM bed to maximise the available working volume of the machine. A step back spacer is available to allow the RCP TC-2 to fit in front of the MRS leg.
  • Page 10 2. Two pairs of screws are supplied with the MRS*, one pair of M10 and one pair of M8 (item 1) with washers (item 2). The appropriate screw size should be used to secure the MRS foot to the CMM table.
  • Page 11 The MRS leg-to-foot adaptors (item 2) can now be screwed into the bottom of each leg and hand-tightened. 4. Place the MRS legs into the MRS feet (item 3) on the CMM table and adjust the three grubscrews (item 4) so that the legs locate in the MRS feet but are still able to rotate.
  • Page 12 CAUTION: The MRS rack is top heavy. Whilst performing steps 5 and 6, the rail of the MRS must be supported. 5. Referring to the image below, screw the MRS legs (item 3) into the T-nuts (item 1) at each end of the MRS rack (item 2) and hand-tighten.
  • Page 13 2) can be screwed into the bottom of each MRS leg assembly (item 1) and hand-tightened. 6. Place the MRS legs into the MRS feet (item 3) on the CMM table. Loosely adjust the three grubscrews (item 4) on each MRS foot so that the legs locate in the MRS feet but are free to rotate.
  • Page 14 7. If no step back spacer that is required for the RCP and RCP TC-2, position the MRS (item 1) to the step-back adaptor (item 2) and orientate the step-back adaptor so that the M8 screw (item 3) is properly aligned to the MRS T-nut. Screw the step-back adaptor to the MRS using the M8 screw (item 3).
  • Page 15 9. Repeat the relevent previous steps for the second MRS leg, hand-tightening the M8 screw on each step-back adaptor. 10. Adjust the position of the rail as required by slackening the M8 screw in the step-back adaptor and sliding the rail into position. Re-tighten the M8 screws using the hexagonal key supplied.
  • Page 16 Where an MRS installation has numerous SCP80s containing heavy stylus arrangements, or vertical stylus arrangements exceeding 190 mm, it is recommended that the optional MRS heavy duty leg kits are used to provide additional rigidity / height. These kits can be purchased separately to match the number of legs used on the MRS.
  • Page 17: Installation Procedure

    3. Screw the heavy duty leg (item 1) to the top of the threaded stud (item 2) and hand-tighten. Repeat for second leg assembly. 4. Place the first MRS foot (item 7) (part of the standard MRS leg assembly) on top of the heavy duty leg (item 1) and secure using the M10 screw (item 6).
  • Page 18 Fitting MRS adaptor feet By using the optional MRS adjustable footplates shown below, the MRS rail can also be placed at different positions on the CMM's bed which ensures that a maximised working volume can be achieved. The MRS adjustable footplates can be used with the MRS standard leg and the MRS heavy duty leg arrangements.
  • Page 19 4. Footplate 5. M8 or M10 screw 6. MRS adjustable footplate 1. Fit the MRS adjustable footplate to the CMM bed. 2. Follow the steps on fitting the MRS feet and instead of fitting the feet to the CMM bed fit them to the adjustable footplate.
